PHOTO 365 – DAY 30: EARLY…

silly monkey got a new bicycle for his birthday. not one of those spiderman bikes that litters every big-box retailer, but a real, big boy bike. we decided to give it to him early, about a week and a half before his birthday b/c we knew we were approaching a couple of nice days followed by lots of rain. that and the box was slightly intrusive in my entry way and i couldn’t keep in hidden under a blanket much longer.

his uncle J was still putting it together when we arrived home, so we threw (another) blanket over it and let him “open” it while it was still in pieces. monkey was excited. he danced around and yelled “that’s sweeeeet!!!”, which made me feel a whole lot happy and a little bit ill (people still say “sweet”?).

DAY THIRTY: once it was put together, we threw on his helmet and he took it for a test ride…

after he had his cycling fill for the evening, he had his uncle J test it, too…
